Let me give you an example:The better way to post this would be as follows:There are many talented writers and wordsmiths that will most likely volunteer to help you further improve your command of the English language.

I, as well as some other fellow FlyerTalk members, are willing to assist you, as well as give you specifics on proper sentence structure and grammar of the English language, if you are indeed interested.
Thanks! I will try to do more helpful to writing the languages. I will keep reading the aviation forum. I will try to be improving with proper English.

I am scheduled to leave in 2 weeks for a trip diving in Philippines (yep, just as the kids go back to school! --- nirvana). I have been to this specific place 8 other times, and just love it. I get all sorts of special treatment, often being the only diva (I mean diver) there, essentially private guide and boat! ^^^

While I don't really want summer to end, I do enjoy the peace and quiet that September brings.

I tried snorkeling a few years back in st. maarten and i just ended up drinking a bunch of the water and getting sick. I did however go back again in Key Largo. I did a bit better there and its much nicer to actually see coral and fish .

I've never had the experience of diving to see fish and coral; definitely something I want to do in the near future.

I would definately recommend it just make sure when you do it you aren't too close to shore if you are then the waves come in on you more IME.

Get on a flight to TLV. The Red Sea is supposed to be one of the world's great spots for coral.

Diving is a wonderful experience. The best places are quite remote, and take some time to get to.... meaning that they are also optimal opportunities to either earn loads of miles, or use your miles to get there.

I am so happy that I decided to become certified diver after a snorkeling trip to Hawaii in 1992 . I also like to take UW photos of my fish and critters.

Until recently, all my passport stamps were acquired from dive trips. Only after my stepdad suddenly died 2 1/2 years ago, and my introduction to MRs from FT, have I started to visit Europe, bringing secretsea18Mom along for the fun. We even got an op-up on our return from LHR this year^

Yes, I have to stay close at the shore. This is where I have to stay afloat while I am in the ocean.

We have been there in Israel. This is where we are in Red Sea that I have to stay afloat and not go underwater. Because it was lot of the salt. It will try to get swallow and it will cause to get sicks.

Just by reading what I quoted above, I have to admit that there has been a noticeable improvement in your English skills virtually overnight, N830MH.

You are doing great! Keep up the good work! If you need any assistance, just ask...
